This was a strange little book, but not in a bad way! The story kind of meanders along, not quite directionless but not quite as driven as its protagonist is. I love a good split timeline and this book utilizes the device well, and the characters were well fleshed out. What it lacks in thrill it certainly makes up for in mystery and a compelling, touching story about family, love, connection, and devotion.
